To host the MTV VMAs, Katy Perry walked the red carpet wearing one of our favorite eye shadow trends: flamingo-pink makeup.

It appears to be swept around the eye with a pearly highlighter, bringing attention to her bold brows. Matching pink blush and a luminous lipstick complete her monochromatic beauty style. It feels on-brand for Katy, who has always been a girlie girl with her color scheme.

The best part is that you can re-create her look at home using all affordable makeup from CoverGirl. We have the exact shade breakdown from her glam team. Her base is Vitalist Healthy Elixir Foundation in Creamy Natural ($10). That stunning, colorful eye makeup comes via TruNakeds Eye Shadow Palette in Jewels ($13) and Goldens ($10). The eye makeup is completed with Perfect Point Plus Eyeliner in Black Onyx ($5), Total Tease Mascara in Very Black ($8), and Easy Breezy Brow Powder Kit in Rich Brown ($9). Try out her lipstick look with Farewell Feathering Lip Liner in Clear ($6) and Melting Pout Liquid Lipstick in Gelebrity ($7).

Katy has been a longtime face of CoverGirl, and she even created two makeup lines for the mega brand, so we're not surprised this is her product choice for her big night.

Her pixie cut was styled simply, with baby bangs falling effortlessly onto her forehead. But will Katy keep this look all night? Knowing her, more beauty (and wig!) changes could be coming. Stay tuned!
